Livewire

The best way to describe Livewire Wines is that they make damn good wine.
Owner and winemaker Anthony Brain probably sums it up best:
“I just want to make good interesting booze”.
 

Anthony Brain started working life as a chef, but in the late 1990s ‘took a slight bend into the wine industry’. He started gathering experience in the Yarra Valley, and simultaneously started oenology studies at CSU. Margaret River followed, as did time in SA before a return to the Yarra, working at De Bortoli from 2003 to ’07 (undertaking vintages in the Hunter, King and Yarra valleys). Five vintages as winemaker at Bellarine Estate plus a few years at Banks Road followed, giving him ‘a platform and understanding of the Geelong region and the opportunity to learn more about sites, viticulture and winemaking decisions’. It hasn’t prevented him from foraging far and wide.

One of their most recognisable drops is The Blood of Hipsters, a Shiraz which, as Brain so accurately describes it, is “just a very drinkable wine”. Other varieties include a savoury style sauvignon blanc and a lovely Grassy Point Chardonnay. In total, around 70 per cent of the wine production is Geelong based.
